At Milford Haven Museum, you will feel transformed as you step into a whole new world. Housed in the town's oldest building, the Customs House, which dates back to 1797. A Grade II listed building made of rubble stone, it was designed by Swansea architect, Jernigan, and built for the storage of whale oil. Our varied and awe-inspiring collection will completely revamp your knowledge in ways you never thought were possible. Since our launch in 1991, we have been dedicated to enriching the lives of all who visit our space. We look forward to welcoming you to our amazing facilities soon, we promise you will learn something new!
A lovely museum celebrating the history of Milford Haven. Fascinating displays with some interactive exhibits for children too. Superb models of ships and an insight into the industrial heritage of this Pembrokeshire town. The staff were very friendly, happy to chat and very knowledgeable. I thoroughly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
I called in briefly before lunch but my main visit was, as planned, later in the afternoon. I was welcomed by Christine and John, the latter of whom has an extensive knowledge of local history. What immediately caught my eye was a chairlift to help people with mobility issues to reach the upper floor. I tested it and later used it twice in earnest. I would otherwise have struggled to walk DOWN those stairs. I tagged onto a group of people who had just come in and were listening intently to what John had to say. I was allowed to leave my shopping bag and my coat downstairs during my visit. Although it is only a small place, there are a lot of items on display. The layout is easy to follow but pathways are narrow in places. For me the museum was as full of surprises as Milford Haven is, itself. Not doing justice to the place I chose it because it was accessible by train and I hadn't visited it beforehand. It came as a lovely surprise. There are some lovely shop names along the waterfront.
A beautiful well thought and laid out museum. Highlighting the history of the local area through its shipping exploits, the Great War and the local oil industry of which the rest of the UK relies so much on. The exhibits are excellent and who ever did the model ships should be praise highly they are a work of art themselves. There is a little gift shop by the entrance and there is an electric stair lift to take you up to the first floor if you have mobility issues. Face masks good idea as enclosed space and protects the staff. Well worth the PS4 entry fee.
Loved this museum. Who would have known the relationship between here and the Nantucket whalers ? Very very informative and so interesting. The staff are brilliant. So friendly and helpful. We will return I'm sure. Da iawn a diolch yn fawr.
A great museum. It has lots of fascinating stories to tell, and it tells them well. The warm welcome at reception was a great start, and they gave us tips about where to eat on the way out.
Spent a while here to kill some time and escape the vicious wind on the waterfront. Lovely welcoming and helpful staff who relieved us of the entrance fee in such a charming way, we barely noticed. Dog friendly.
